WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:03.000 Now doctor watching. How about the Lucia Larcom's story The 2 00:00:03.160 --> 00:00:04.040 Island of Death. 3 00:00:04.160 --> 00:00:06.360 Well, mister bell As I told you, most of that 4 00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:09.080 exciting adventure took place on a chiny island in the 5 00:00:09.119 --> 00:00:12.759 Scottish Lake District. However it began, and officers say enough, 6 00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.759 as so many of our adventures began in our rooms 7 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:19.719 at Baker Street, this honest Thamy September evening, and Holmes 8 00:00:19.719 --> 00:00:21.760 and I was seated on either side of our fathers. 9 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:24.960 I remember after dinner that he began to analyze the 10 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:30.559 old prefet that truth is indeed strangers, and fiction ignormously. 11 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.799 Hear him now, as he said. 12 00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:35.920 My dear Watson, the true picture of the criminal world 13 00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:38.520 is stranger than anything which the mind of man could intend. 14 00:00:38.359 --> 00:00:40.719 On the shows. I agree with the homes the police supports, 15 00:00:40.719 --> 00:00:42.960 and the papers are usually quite undistinguished and. 16 00:00:42.960 --> 00:00:45.560 Dull to O chap, But that's the thought of the reporters. 17 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:46.320 Depend upon it. 18 00:00:46.399 --> 00:00:46.719 Button. 19 00:00:46.759 --> 00:00:48.679 There's nothing so unnatural as the commonplace. 20 00:00:48.960 --> 00:00:50.719 Let's put it to a practical test. I to cut 21 00:00:50.759 --> 00:00:53.679 the evening's papers here. It is the first heading up 22 00:00:53.799 --> 00:00:57.280 which I can a husband's cruelly to his wife. There's 23 00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.280 a half a column of print. And I bet you 24 00:00:59.320 --> 00:01:01.600 that without reading I can tell you rest to the trouble. 25 00:01:01.719 --> 00:01:04.560 I accept your bed, Watson, give me your deduction cards 26 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:05.239 so hard. 27 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:07.879 There is, of course the other woman, the extra drink, 28 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.719 the puss, the blow, the bruise, and the sympathetic sister, 29 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.799 all d lady the crudest. The writers could invent nothing 30 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:15.359 more crude. 31 00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:17.760 And your example is an unfortunate one to your argument, 32 00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:20.519 old fellow. Un the article to which you refer is 33 00:01:20.560 --> 00:01:24.000 the Dundath separation case. The husband was a teetotaler, there 34 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:26.280 was no other woman, and the conduct complained of was 35 00:01:26.319 --> 00:01:28.640 that he had drifted into the unfortunate habit of winding 36 00:01:28.680 --> 00:01:31.200 up every meal by taking out his for Stephen Fellingham 37 00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:33.400 with his wife, an action which I think you will 38 00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:36.040 agree is not likely to occur to the imagination of 39 00:01:36.040 --> 00:01:37.079 the average storyteller. 40 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.560 Hurling fo's teeth, disantess right, who dos correctly you expecting 41 00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.359 a visitor. 42 00:01:43.200 --> 00:01:45.760 Yes, Watson, I am, And he might well prove a 43 00:01:45.840 --> 00:01:48.079 client who will point out the moral of our little discussion. 44 00:01:48.120 --> 00:01:50.480 Oh what makes you say that the gentleman calling on 45 00:01:50.560 --> 00:01:52.959 me is a distinctly colorful chessinality by the name of 46 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:55.840 Stephen Singer. He's nearly seven feet tall, and yet he 47 00:01:55.840 --> 00:01:59.000 weighs under eight stones. Cocard from him this morning informed 48 00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:01.040 me of his intention of calling at seven o'clock to night. 49 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.480 You should do he weighs under eight stone. That's only 50 00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.920 I hadn't very found he must be a human skeleton. 51 00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:10.560 That was the unfortunate title applied to him at the 52 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:12.319 circus side shot which I first met him. 53 00:02:12.680 --> 00:02:15.560 It's got circus freaks here in Vegas Street. I have 54 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:16.360 seen everything. 55 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:20.479 Freak is an unkind and inappropriate word. Watson, Stephen Singer's 56 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.560 a fellows human being and a more than usually unusually 57 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.400 with everyone. In the case of the banks of circus murders, 58 00:02:26.439 --> 00:02:29.240 he was good enough to take advantages of his almost 59 00:02:29.319 --> 00:02:32.439 unique physical proportion and obliged me by hiding in the 60 00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:35.599 barrels of a circus cannon. His evidence was instrumental in 61 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:38.680 sending a diabolical murderer to the gallows. Let him in 62 00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:39.080 what you watch? 63 00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:39.919 Yeah, of course. 64 00:02:41.479 --> 00:02:42.159 What do you is? 65 00:02:42.199 --> 00:02:46.319 The singer?

By the way, this 71 00:02:57.360 --> 00:02:59.439 is my colleague, doctor Watson. How would you do doctor? 72 00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:02.159 That's the singer. My friend was Jeff Turnament. He once 73 00:03:02.199 --> 00:03:06.840 helped him, helped him in a murder case. That totnessin 74 00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:08.120 just strip. 75 00:03:07.879 --> 00:03:10.120 Myself into the canon Barnard one or. 76 00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:11.439 Two things I wasn't meant too. 77 00:03:11.719 --> 00:03:14.960 Nevertheless, help was invaluable. Stephen. I shall be only too 78 00:03:14.960 --> 00:03:16.759 happy to do what I can to repay the favor 79 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:18.120 I wants a problem. 80 00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.240 Well, perhaps I'm imagining things, and perhaps I'm not. But 81 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:23.960 wouldn't you say it was a rum thing? If a 82 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.080 professor offered me and three made person a circus, did 83 00:03:27.199 --> 00:03:28.960 she quit a piece to go to some island in 84 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:30.039 Scotland for a week. 85 00:03:30.439 --> 00:03:32.879 Indeed, I should say that that's extremely odd. 86 00:03:33.159 --> 00:03:34.759 Can you give me a few more facts? 87 00:03:35.159 --> 00:03:38.039 WI mister owns this professor come to the shelcast three 88 00:03:38.120 --> 00:03:40.840 nights ago when we were playing at stuff with atta boat. 89 00:03:41.719 --> 00:03:42.400 What was his name? 90 00:03:42.439 --> 00:03:46.560 A professor macinly, funny, looking cold, with a bushy red beard. 91 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:50.639 He was.
